The manufacturer issues an “upgrade notice” (or whatever they called them in the past), the lawsuits are paid, and the belief that a gun can’t fire without pulling the trigger is still safe. Three people stood there and watched this happen. I have no doubt they know what happened. But I have serious doubts we will ever hear the story from them.

I use Bullhide belts. Top quality products and excellent customer service.

I was playing around with a feature but decided to go ahead and offer it to Benefactors, Vendors, and Moderators as a perk. You can do when you view your profile now. You're limited to a 64KB photo, which should be sufficient if you do a little editing of your pics offline before trying to upload them.

Well I finally sat down and did some financial planning. Looks like next year I can retire at 54 and live comfortably for about 11 minutes.

On the Ranger station broadcast "net call, net call......another tourist has afforded us the opportunity for tender Bison burgers tonight, they taste great so don't be late! Tight green shorts are optional"

Sounds more to me like the Rangers just wanted to make a point. Why is it that when bears get habituated to people they go out of their way to retrain their fear of people and not much effort was made to save this animal. Even if the herd didn't eventually take it in, I am sure there are more than a few sanctuaries it could have been moved to. No, they just wanted to make a point and get some media exposure about this problem, and it is a problem, and since Bison have become so plentiful, well...

Get the rubberized cork gasket sheet stock from O'Reilleys auto parts. Then chamfer a 38 brass to sharp edge. Tap base with mallet to cut. Do 3 or 4 and then push out of case using a bamboo skewer stick through primer hole. That is basically what I did and it worked great. Now I just use #4 blanks from Home Depot without any media. The concussion puts them on the ground where you can step on them.

this place is worth all of your effort David.

Yea, definitely appreciate the effort put forth to keep us sharing and arguing about important and totally stupid subjects. Keep up the good work, we will be right here even if it means staring at the maintenance screen while you get it running the way you want it.

I picked up a Kimber Mountain Ascent in 308. The Mountain Ascent is the lightest production bolt action big game rifle available today. It weighs 5lbs 5ozs. It is really light. It has a kevlar/carbon fiber stock. The barrel is luted. The bolt is spiral fluted with the bolt handle hollowed out to remove more weight. Have not shot it yet. I have to figure out what glass to put on it. I can't decide if I want a silver scope to match or a black scope for the contrast. Here are a couple of pics.

Someone here actually COMPLAINING about a USA made gun. Yep, it's the end of the world. Everything is backwards.

Sweet. I've seen the scope with a matching camo pattern. It's pretty sharp.

Saw this post earlier on The Firearm Blog... http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/05/17/movie-magic-magpul-moe-handguard-muzzle-device/ The thing that really cracked me up, though, was this brilliant comment but one of the peanut gallery:

Thanks for the heads-up in the Winchester 22WMR. At $12.07/box it's a nice deal..

Got mine on order.

Just put my order in. Thanks

After the problems with mine, I looked for how to change mine and never could find it. I am on my phone though. Just got it changed though through your announcement link at the top of the page.

Guys and Girls, i will just tell you all now, Dave has been teasing me with the Protype of the upcoming TGO Strider and you all are going to want one, in this shipment I have 4 Kniurled Stone washed blades ones coming, these are exceptional carry knives and of all my knives I carry the Protech Striders the most

Ok here is another choice http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000383202/22-Winchester-Mag-30-Grain-V-Max-50-Rounds I don't work for midsouth and the last 22 mag I had was a colt new frontier with the mag cylinder.

.

These belt threads usually go the same way the pump shotgun threads go; the answers are Beltman and Remington 870. It just doesn’t get any better.

Thanks. I am a bit of a dog freak so it fits me. It isn't my Golden, but looks just like mine did.

All kinds of cool stuff. Set one for me too.

That's the crux I guess for me. It isn't about the money. I prefer to shoot 22's over 223 or most centerfires regardless of the cost. I don't buy from gougers as I don't shoot HV or the most common ammo you find at walmart, etc. I stick with standard velocity for my suppressors so it is usually a bit higher anyway and I can buy it online in bulk. I shoot some centerfire, but mostly benchrest type shooting. I am not a tactitool kind of guy so even my AR's are bench guns for varmints.

http://www.thebeltman.net/www/htdocs/index.html I've got one and so does my wife. Mine's something like 10 yrs old now and still works fine.

My wife built one

Awesome, thanks. Was just able to set mine.

Nifty, thanks, just did one to check it out. - OS

My day started with a visit to TGO around 6:15AM right about which time the forum decided to puke because of a corrupt search index. I worked on that until I absolutely had to walk out the door and head to my job, and then worked on it a bit more for another hour or so between meetings, to get it back online. At one point I literally had to completely obliterate the forum database and restore it from a backup I took right before the outage occurred (premonition???) and even then it looked it it wasn't going to come back online. We've only been around since 2007 and have 25,000+ members and several million posts and private messages. All of which flashed before my eyes a few times while trying like hell to get it to work again. But hey! Here we are! Go, technology! I swear I might become Amish and swear this stuff off one of these days. Until then, there's beer. How was your day?

Playing devil's advocate: Let's completely suspend disbelief say something mechanical actually did fail and there was absolutely NO human error on the part of the guy with the gun. What happens next? Do they throw the department's armorer under the bus for letting the gun get in a state of disrepair? Do they ban SAO/striker-fired weapons due to the inherent danger of having the hammer/striker already cocked?

The investigation will look into finding out what circumstances surrounded the weapon discharge. It is unknown if he was touching the weapon at the time it went off. What you wanna bet he was touching the weapon when it went off. I wish the officer a speedy recovery, but this type of statement simply feeds into the anti-gun narrative that "guns just go off killing people"...ie it's the evil tool that's dangerous, not the tool fiddling with the gun... 14 years as an officer...Sometimes it's a matter of familiarity breeding complacency...

Will do tomorrow

David, Next time you make fun of me for not having a smartphone, and my hatred of computers, I will remind you of May 17, 2016. Amish sounds just about right. I was thinking just yesterday of retiring in a log cabin, without Internet, TV, computers, all that technology junk. What bliss that would be. Sorry you had a bad day. Plan for the day you can leave all this IT crud behind! There is light at the end of the tunnel! (unless it's an approaching train...). Up until such time, we do appreciate you suffering for us to make TGO possible! Cheers!

Mmm. Beer.

It's a nice looking rifle.

Nice! I'm not familiar with the Mountain Ascent. Does it have a CRF Mauser/M70 type action like the Montana? Sweet looking rifle!

Been a loooong time since I last had access to a workshop, but I had a fun day today! Got this hunter profiled, ground & heat treated. O1 steel 3/16 thick. 4¼" blade fully flat ground at 62RWC. 5½" handle. I'm just waiting on some bar stock to come in for the pins, but I'll be handling it with blaze orange G10 with blue & white liners.

Well as long as it doesn't say "Made in China" I'm good.

I've got an idea forming up for another shirt design later. Maybe we can do these quarterly or something. Do two runs of t-shirts in the warmer weather, long sleeve T's for the cooler weather and hoodies / sweat shirts for the cold weather.

Not a good idea to try that without heat. Heat will help to soften it so that the pop isn't violent and will help to keep the paint from cracking if it isn't already.

Fantastic job! I like everything about it!

I'd just skip the pocket and carry it up front in Thunderware

Great job. I like it all, but the blade design is over the top

"Why yes ladies, That actually is my gun in my pocket" haha

I love the internet.

Yup, quickly accurate on COM to 150 yards or more with just cheek weld with iron sights, plenty of velocity with 5.56 out of 10.5" barrel or even shorter with softpoints or other expanding bullets, with 20-30 quick chances too. :) Can do it for 'bout same price as a Glock, so if stolen it's not the worst financial blow. Also, can legally carry it outside the vehicle in TN in normal times if necessary, and do it quite gray man if you keep it in something like this: Here's mine, lives in the above racquet case behind the seat in my toy truck: - OS

Marlin .45/70 Great deer rifle, plus would be handy for when the rabid elephants start roaming around, you know just in case.

  Yep, folks been saying that for almost 3.5 years now.   - OS
